Re: Pricing 'Odoo Technical Traininng'

I do not know the contents of the training, but I assume that quality is high because of your experience in performing trainings.

So in my opinion 100$ is underpriced. Note that you are giving guarantee of your personal availability for answering questions.

The price of that kind means that there will be a lot of sign ups. I was performing on-site trainings for Odoo in Belgium multiple times and know that giving out material is not enough.

Q&A section is what gives 80% value of the training and makes your students satisfied. So in my opinion fare price for guarantees that you give is 750$. In other case, I think, your capacity will not be enough to handle everybody.

For 100$ you can give out training for self-learning without your involvement. That is to cover your expenses on creating it and your intellectual property.

But I recommend you to go not for quantity, but for quality as that is the most important now in Odoo world.

P.S. In requirements for training I recommend you to add "minimum intermediate python knowledge" + "intermediate knowledge of Linux/Unix and working with command line"

Thanks for the clarification Mohamed. I am glad to see you are getting some compliments on your work. I have been frustrated with the lack of available training options for v8, especially technical training. I think you will do very well.

I agree with an earlier statement that the price now is realistic for 15 minutes of training, but when all 38 courses are completed I would pay as high as $750. Primarily because the topics you have planned are excellent and extremely valuable. I also agree that the discussion forum is a great addition. Hopefully you will have time and can add additional workshops and be able to charge extra for them as well. I'm sure if you took a poll you could get ideas for what would be popular.

Again, congratulations. I hope you are successful and I will sign up now.

Mohamed, I have been following since your first email. I visit your website and the price says $100. So I wrote you this afternoon and inquired about the $100 course and you replied it was sold out at that price, but for $400 I could register. I went right back to your website and the price was changed to $400 and indeed it said sold out.

Now you tell others on the same community list it's available for $100? What is the price? And what is included? 38 courses are advertised but only 7 have published content and the remaining 31 say 'Upcoming'.

But I could not understand, you or your company were able to pay $2000+ but you do not able to pay $400 ?I know it is not a live training, But I offer you a permanent access to the course, the course will be upgraded all the time and many other audience to discuss your issues.I offer almost an instant response to the audiences.

Can I ask, did the live training you had before covered the new APIs of Odoo v8.0?

I have seen the thread and was about to take the course for your
first offer, $100 or even for your second offer, $200. But now, it
is $400 and this seems overpriced for me and the fellow from my
company, so I cannot get my company to pay me for this course
anymore. And I am not sitting in India or Pakistan but in Germany.

I have attended other IT courses and paid $2000 and up for one week,
but it was live, with two instructors, mostly in a nice environment
and they had to pay the hotel for the conference room, they had to
pay travel costs etc. etc.

So unfortunately, for $400, with me you have the first customer
*not* taking your course.

Honestly, you’d be competing with Odoo itself for training. As
of now, you are one of the first to market with a $200 course
that covers all the Odoo essentials, so there will be little
incentive for potential competitors. If you raise you price
above the $500 mark, I’m sure you’d eventually see more
competition. As a reference, I just paid $250 for training from http://www.odooclass.com and learned what I
needed to get going, so your price point now seems good.
